NAME SYNOPSIS ABSTRACT DESCRIPTION SEE ALSO NAME Encode::Symbol - Symbol Encodings SYNOPSIS use Encode qw/encode decode/; $symbol = encode("symbol", $utf8); # loads Encode::Symbol implicitly $utf8 = decode("", $symbol); # ditto ABSTRACT This module implements symbol and dingbats encodings. Encodings supported are as follows. Canonical Alias Description -------------------------------------------------------------------- symbol dingbats AdobeZDingbat AdobeSymbol MacDingbats DESCR

__SUB__ A special token that returns a reference to the current subroutine, or undef outside of a subroutine. The behaviour of __SUB__ within a regex code block (such as /(?{...})/ ) is subject to change. This token is only available under use v5.16 or the "current_sub" feature. See feature.

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTIONOverridden methods AUTHOR SEE ALSO NAME ExtUtils::MM_QNX - QNX specific subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Unix SYNOPSIS Don't use this module directly. Use ExtUtils::MM and let it choose. DESCRIPTION This is a subclass of ExtUtils::MM_Unix which contains functionality for QNX. Unless otherwise stated it works just like ExtUtils::MM_Unix Overridden methods extra_clean_files Add .err files corresponding to each .c file. AUTHOR Michael G Schwern <schwern@pobox.com> with c

srand EXPR srand Sets and returns the random number seed for the rand operator. The point of the function is to "seed" the rand function so that rand can produce a different sequence each time you run your program. When called with a parameter, srand uses that for the seed; otherwise it (semi-)randomly chooses a seed. In either case, starting with Perl 5.14, it returns the seed. To signal that your code will work only on Perls of a recent vintage: use 5.014; # so srand returns the seed If sran

NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION Quick Guide The Unicode Character MapCoping with duplicate mappings Bookmarks SEE ALSO NAME enc2xs -- Perl Encode Module Generator SYNOPSIS enc2xs -[options] enc2xs -M ModName mapfiles... enc2xs -C DESCRIPTION enc2xs builds a Perl extension for use by Encode from either Unicode Character Mapping files (.ucm) or Tcl Encoding Files (.enc). Besides being used internally during the build process of the Encode module, you can use enc2xs to add your own encoding to perl.

chdir EXPR chdir FILEHANDLE chdir DIRHANDLE chdir Changes the working directory to EXPR, if possible. If EXPR is omitted, changes to the directory specified by $ENV{HOME} , if set; if not, changes to the directory specified by $ENV{LOGDIR} . (Under VMS, the variable $ENV{SYS$LOGIN} is also checked, and used if it is set.) If neither is set, chdir does nothing. It returns true on success, false otherwise. See the example under die. On systems that support fchdir(2), you may pass a filehandle or

NAME DESCRIPTIONKnown Problems with Perl on Hurd AUTHOR NAME perlhurd - Perl version 5 on Hurd DESCRIPTION If you want to use Perl on the Hurd, I recommend using the Debian GNU/Hurd distribution ( see http://www.debian.org/ ), even if an official, stable release has not yet been made. The old "gnu-0.2" binary distribution will most certainly have additional problems. Known Problems with Perl on Hurd The Perl test suite may still report some errors on the Hurd. The "lib/anydbm" and "pragma/wa

sub NAME BLOCK sub NAME (PROTO) BLOCK sub NAME : ATTRS BLOCK sub NAME (PROTO) : ATTRS BLOCK This is subroutine definition, not a real function per se. Without a BLOCK it's just a forward declaration. Without a NAME, it's an anonymous function declaration, so does return a value: the CODE ref of the closure just created. See perlsub and perlref for details about subroutines and references; see attributes and Attribute::Handlers for more information about attributes.
